Chapter 59
Since she was four years old, every time Nanmu encounters something new, she will let her follow her to see it in this way, and she also says that it is too lonely to go alone, and she needs someone to accompany her to go.
Nan He knew what his intentions were, although he wanted to go very much, but because he had never gone out at night, he retreated again: "I don't like to watch the lantern festival, you can find someone else to accompany you to see it!"
What his sister was thinking in his heart, of course he was clear, Nan Mu jumped down from the wall, walked in front of Nan He, and sent the peeled chestnuts in his hand over: "I took it from Aunt Youhuai, it's sweet and delicious."
Nan He glanced down and didn't pick it up: "I don't like to eat sweet."
This sentence has been said to the person in front of him many times, but every time this person brings something sweet, and stubbornly asks her to eat it.
The hand that put the chestnut was taken back, Nan He was stunned when he saw this, it was rare that he didn't force her to eat it as usual, but he always felt that he wouldn't take it back like this!
As it turned out, she was right.
Nanmu took a chestnut and threw it into his mouth, and after chewing a few bites, he bent down and directly grabbed her wrist and pulled her up: "Then you can accompany me to see the Lantern Festival!"
Nan He took his hand, leaned back, and resisted him with all his strength: "Don't go."
The tone was firm, and there was no hint of wanting to go.
Nanmu glanced back at her and said with a smile, "Then you eat the chestnuts."
Nan He didn't think about it, and shook his head directly: "Don't eat."
Seeing that he was about to walk to the door, Nanmu took his hand and increased his strength: "Either you will eat all the chestnuts I brought, or you will accompany me to the Lantern Festival." Take your pick. ”
When he said the last three words, he had completely taken Nan He out of her small courtyard.
"There are so many people in the house, can't you find someone else to accompany you?"
"Sister, you don't know, brother, I really can't find anyone else to accompany me, now you are the only one in the entire mansion to accompany me, if you don't go again, then my brother will be too pitiful!" Saying this, Nanmu also made a pitiful expression, trying to "influence" her with such behavior.
Originally, Nan He had the intention of going, and when he said this, he walked down the steps he gave, but on the surface, he still pretended to be reluctant: "Okay, I'll go with you."
The night in the evening river was already beautiful, but with the addition of those beautiful lanterns, it became even more beautiful.
"Yikes! It's Childe! ”
As soon as Nan He followed Nan Mu to a stall selling lanterns, the stall owner opened his mouth, and his tone was as if he had found some treasure.
In order not to attract the attention of others, Nanmu smiled and stretched out his index finger to compare it on his lips, and the stall owner understood and immediately nodded.
"Huh! Would you like two lanterns? ”
He hadn't taken a few steps before he heard the stall owner ask in a low voice.
At first, Nan He's eyes didn't focus on the stall owner, but when she heard her speak a second time, she turned her head to look at the stall owner.
Twenty-eight years old, a slim young girl, with a small face the size of a palm, was looking at the man beside her with a shy attitude.
"If you want me to say you shouldn't come out." She whispered to Nan Mu's ear and muttered.
Nanmu glanced at her and said with a smile: "We came to see the lanterns, and the lanterns are willing to let us see them, in the same way, don't you allow them to look at us?"
Nan He pursed his lips and looked away from his face: "Crooked."
She looked back again, and saw that the young girl was still staring at Nanmu, so she turned around and walked to the front of the stall.
"Presumably the girl must be Childe's sister!" Seeing that Nan Mu didn't mean to come over, she put her mind on Nan He again, "Whatever you choose, girl, I'll give you whichever one you like." ”
However, Nan He didn't eat her set, and glanced at the stall, although a few of them were quite beautiful, but those were not so beautiful that she betrayed her brother.
Wanjiang does not have the so-called door-to-door to say, as long as it is a person who is happy with each other, you can tie the knot and grow old, so the men and women of Wanjiang will not have too much twist in the face of the person they like.
Although Nan He has not been out a few times, he still knows a lot about these.
The stall owner obviously has that kind of heart for Nanmu, as his sister, she still knows what type of girl he likes, so she directly extinguishes the stall owner's love for Nanmu.
"Your lanterns are very beautiful, but my brother doesn't like them, thank you for your kindness."
"This ...... That's it! Those two go slowly! ”
Fortunately, the stall owner was not very stupid, and after she finished speaking, she quickly understood what she meant, and although she felt a little uncomfortable, she still smiled on her face.
Nanmu stood aside and looked at her blankly, and when she came over, he asked, "Why don't you want any of them?"
Nan He followed him and continued to walk forward: "I don't like it."
"Don't like it?" Nanmu muttered.
Just now he saw that her eyes lit up when she saw the orange lamp, and when he saw several other things, there were such eyes, and if he said that she didn't like it, he wouldn't believe it at all.
Nan He heard it, but he didn't answer him, he walked a few steps forward, and suddenly saw a lantern seller, so he pulled Nan Mu's sleeve: "I heard that the lantern can make a wish."
She just said that, and didn't say she wanted it, but Nanmu knew what she meant, and pulled her straight to the stall that sold lanterns.
"Boss, bring me two."
"Okay"
The stall owner quickly picked two and handed them to them, Nan Mu gave the silver, and then gave Nan He one lantern.
"Go to the river and make a wish."
Nan He stared at the lantern in his hand for a long time, and even on the way Nan Mu took her to the river, she didn't take her eyes off.
She had only heard the lanterns in other people's mouths before, but today was the first time she had seen them with her own eyes and touched them with her own hands.
After putting on the lamp, eating wine-stuffed balls, watching the lantern riddles, listening to small songs, and finally visiting the teahouse, Nanmu took her back.
"Sister, what wish did you just make?"
After walking all the way, he saw that he was about to reach home, but he still didn't hold back and asked.
Nan He glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "If you say your wish, it won't work, I don't want it to fail."
Hearing this, Nanmu put his arm on her shoulder, approached her and smiled: "Then brother tell you about my brother's wishes!"
Nan He shook her head, raised her hand and pushed his arm away, and moved it to the side, she didn't like this kind of body touch.
"Still not! If you tell me, then your wish will not come true! ”
Nanmu came over again, this time he directly grabbed her shoulders and hugged her into his arms: "If you can't achieve it, you can't achieve it!" It's good to be like this all the time anyway! ”
"What has always been like this? What do you mean by that? Sensing that his tone suddenly carried some sense of loss, Nan He frowned and asked.
"Nannan, my brother wants to get out of here."
The term hasn't been used since she was ten years old.
He looked serious and said seriously, but Nan He was heartbroken the moment he heard it.
Leaving it?
She felt a little sad.
From childhood to adulthood, she grew up with Nanmu, for her, Nanmu is her closest and dearest person in this world, and it is her warm sun that brings her light. Now her warm sun is saying that she wants to leave, get out of here, leave ...... Her side.
After Nanmu finished saying that, he kept staring at her, and seeing that her face was full of loss and sadness, he reached out and rubbed her hair.
Nan He glanced up at him, the light in his eyes was not there, and the tails of his eyes were a little red: "You are the son of Wanjiang, so you can naturally leave here and live in other immortal realms."
Nanmu bent down slightly, put his hand on the top of his head, and then pressed his forehead against her forehead with his thumbs: "That's not what I said, and ......"
He paused deliberately, but seeing that Nan He's eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes lowered, and he didn't mean to ask him at all, he continued: "And the premise of leaving is to take you with me."
The light returned to her eyes, the corners of her lips were irrepressible smiles, and her face was full of surprise: "Really? Are you telling this true? Not kidding me? ”
Nanmu patted her head helplessly: "You are my sister, I will naturally take you with me wherever I go, there is no doubt about it!" Besides, when did I lie to you!? ”
Nan He slapped his hand away and looked at him with a resentful look: "When you were young, you lied to me that the sweetness was delicious, and then you took me to eat dozens of sweets."
Nanmu was suddenly unhappy: "The sweet one is already delicious!" When did I lie to you! You yourself touch your conscience and answer me, which of the sweets I take you to eat is not delicious! ”
"None of them taste good." Because I don't like it, it's not delicious.
She glanced at Nan Mu, ignored his next words, and went straight back to the house past him.
"You're lying! You liar! The sweets I took you to eat were obviously delicious, but you said they weren't delicious! I like the lanterns on the lantern stall, but you say you don't like them! Scold! Bear two faces under one hood! Nanmu turned around and pointed at her back and shouted, seeing her figure getting farther and farther away, he followed quickly with a reluctant face.
For several days after that, Nan He never saw Nan Mu again, and the people who served her said that Nan Mu went to the largest fairy area in the late river, saying that he wanted to investigate on the spot to see if it was suitable for him to build a mansion.
When she heard these words, the words that Nanmu said that night appeared in her ears again.
"Nannan, my brother wants to get out of here."
She didn't ask him what he meant that day, she originally wanted to ask again another day, but who would have thought about this delay, and there was no chance to ask.
The day before Nanmu came back from the fairy realm, she stayed in the small courtyard of Bi Youhuai.
When she met Bi Youhuai, she was only five years old, and that year Nanmu finally influenced her and let her regain some of the temperament that a child should have.
That day, he took her to play in the small fairy domain on the corner of the street, Nan He felt bored halfway, so he ran out, she sat on a small stool and stared at the little fairy domain for a while, and saw that Nan Mu did not mean to come out, so he moved his gaze up and stared at the white clouds fluttering in the wind in the sky.
In the previous year, the most she did every day was to be in a daze, so there was no warning at all, and when she reacted again, it was already half an hour later.
Her eyes were sour, she raised her hand and rubbed it gently, jumped off the stone bench, and walked out into the street with an indifferent face.
A scream suddenly sounded in the busy street, and she looked around to find the source of the sound, and suddenly saw a large number of people gathered not far away, and those people were gathered together, as if they were staring at something.
Although her curiosity is not as heavy as that of others, she is a child after all, and she still wants to understand what is going on when she sees such a scene.
So, she walked over.
She was so thin that she squeezed through the gap in the crowd, and when she walked to the innermost, she realized what the people around her were looking at.
A cat as big as a dog lay on the ground, curled up and covered in blood, but there was a faint fairy in the blood.
These people around are precisely because of this fairy.
Although people born in the fairy realm are born with an immortal body, if they don't know how to do magic, the immortal energy in the body will be useless, and it will slowly dissipate.
And this fairy spirit is something that will make this kind of person regain his immortal body, if it doesn't appear in the blood of a cat, they are afraid that they will already fight for it.
"What a pity! What a fairy! How could it appear on such a brute! What a waste! ”
"Fairies should be in plants, or in people, I never thought they would appear in a cat!"
"Waste! Waste! What a waste! Such a good fairy, if it weren't for the cat, would have been taken away by now! ”
"This cat looks covered in blood, is it about to die?"
"Alas! This rare fairy spirit will also dissipate with it! ”
……
More and more voices sounded around her, Nan He felt very noisy, she looked at the cat on the ground, and was moved by compassion for a while.
By the time she realized what she was doing, she was already holding the cat in her arms.
When Nan Mu came out of the Little Immortal Domain, Nan He had already gone home with the cat.
She found the best medicine for the wound, first wiped the blood off its body, and then applied it medicine.
"Be careful in the future, don't get hurt again!"
This was the first thing she said to Bi Youhuai, but she didn't know that the "cat" in front of her was Bi Youhuai who helped her a lot later.
After taking the medicine, Nan He went back to her room to sleep, and when she woke up in the morning, she found that the cat was gone.
She didn't pay attention at that time, and the days passed exactly the same as before, until half a moon later, on a sunny afternoon, she saw the "cat" she had saved again.
That day, Nanmu took her to the teahouse to listen to the gentleman inside, and not long after the two sat down, a gust of wind swept through the teahouse, and no place was complete.
In the chaos, she was led away from Nanmu's location by the crowd, and when the wind cleared, she realized that she had somehow appeared in a private room.
In the center of this private room is a soft couch, on which a plain white "cat" is curled up and lying there.
"See you again!" The surprise in his heart was greater than the uneasiness of coming to a strange place, Nan He walked over quickly and stopped in front of the soft couch.
When the "cat" heard the sound, it moved its ears, then opened its purple eyes, rolled its eyes, and fell on Nan He's face.
Then it didn't take long for the cat to turn into a fox, a scarred fox with its noble head on its back, unwilling to put its head down, but wounded.
After getting acquainted, she had asked her a lot of questions, but she didn't say anything except a few things that didn't matter.
At first, Nan He would ask, but after a long time, he didn't plan to ask again.
At this time, Bi Youhuai was lying on the rattan chair in the courtyard, looking at Nan He who was frowning on the side, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Nan He shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
Bi Youhuai watched her grow up, so when he heard her words that were not from the heart, he didn't mean to believe it at all.
But seeing that she didn't mean to say anything, he didn't ask again, thinking that he would tell her when she figured it out.
Nan He sat at the stone table on the edge of the rattan chair, and there was a cold sour plum juice on the table, and she drank a lot of it cup by cup, but she still had no intention of stopping.
"Aunt Bi, is there another world beyond the evening river?"
After a long time, she suddenly asked.
Bi Youhuai didn't hear clearly for a while, so he asked, "What did you say?"
Nan He repeated it word for word, and then added: "Nan Mu said a few days ago that he wanted to leave here, I thought he was going to the Immortal Realm to set up his own portal, but he said that it was not the case. I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't understand what he meant. ”
Bi Youhuai sat up, she stared at Nan He for a while, then got up and walked to her side and sat down: "Then why do you ask such a question today?"
Nan He poured her a glass of sour plum juice, and when he handed it to her, he looked up at her and asked, "Aunt Bi, if I say that I am just on a whim, this question appears in my mind, do you believe it?"
Bi Youhuai nodded, said something to believe her, and then said solemnly: "Ah He, Aunt Bi can tell you very seriously that there are other worlds beyond Wanjiang, and there are more than one, there are many, many more."
This was originally just a conjecture of hers, and when she asked, she didn't even think that Bi Youhuai would answer her, who thought that not only did she have an answer, but also an answer that made her stunned.
There are other worlds outside the Evening River, and Bi Youhuai is a person who came to the Evening River from other worlds, an immortal envoy who shuttles through various worlds.
